Fifth Grade This year's fifth grade was composed of fine, hardworking students, Un- der the wise and kindly guidance of Mr. Eldredge and Mr. Sector this class participated in every phase of school life. Boys and girls worked hard and played hard - it will be interesting to follow the athletic careers of such stars as Priscilla McAvity, Mary Gwaltney, Tony Childs, Henry Holbrook, and Collin Moller. In addition to their regular academic work in English, social studies and math, the fifth grade learned much from their group efforts in plays and skits. The Columbus Day program starring Sandy Alexander was especially good. This was a good year 1960 Watch this class next year when they become the leaders of the lower school r Sector 'sf Mr Eldredge ,r I M.

We were very happy to be with the big boys and girls in the main building. Our classes were exciting too, with poetry, cursive writing, and independent reading. We all had chore duties and they made us take pride in our room. We put on plays for our parents and the other children in the school. We were all working together as one group and our teachers were the producers. We had fun doing them and hope that everyone enjoyed watching us. At Christrnas our room was decorated with red and green trimmings and of course our wet boots and Jackets On Valent1ne's Day we had a party in our room We all brought in cards for our friends and we had cookies too' On Ea,s'ter we made big eggs which we colored We also made hats and had our own fashion show' The spring was so nice, but the ground was muddy and we were too' It was so pleasant out that sometimes we'd get extra recesses' On Memorial Day we came and watched the softball and baseball games The second grade was so much fun this year, and we learned a lot Next year will bring the new excitement of the third grade - 'Q Wim ssl B U16 0 I Y ' f 4 4? .r 'mx is I on 1 g 7 z- 56 5, Aj- .., Nu JSS I I' f I M '- , . , iv- . p W 1: Qr, ..... .1-si S P ,J Ri A.

First Grade This year's first grade was the largest in the history of Sewickley Academy There were thirtys-three girls and boys, many of whom had been in the Academy Kindergarten and Nursery School. The newcomers were welcomed and quickly became an important part of the group, All of the first graders have learned to read and write, and quite a few of them feel very much at home with the numbers and number combinations up to twenty. Columbus Day, I-lallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine Day, and Easter were all celebrated in grand style with many decorations, assembly pro- grams and stories. The boys and girls in first grade feel that they have had a successful year and are anxious to be second graders in the Big School .
